But, as the Islam mentioned, It requires freedom of the press to the media can have a positive effect. The media should not depend on the economic, which leads to a distortion of information. In other words, mass media should be strong and independent. There are many educational benefits which will not only positively effect on the education and help to solve the part of global problems as the growth of youth crime and youth socialization, sources of information, which are available and free to use in the Internet resources, have a significant impact on improving the level of education of school pupils and students of universities. As it is known, the growth of the crime among young people, which is mainly a result of the aggression of the younger generation because of an overabundance of energy and a lack of financial capacity could be solved by the help of social networks in which people are free to express their emotions when dealing with each other, and then they are able to went out into the real life without any aggression. Moreover, on the Internet there are plenty of sources of incomes for which can provide, for instance, students a sufficient amount of money to live. All of those problems can partially be solved by the help of the mass media. The impact of mass media on policy is carried out primarily through its impact on the information process, which allows a certain way to form public opinion. The main steps of the process are: getting information, selection,
The media can be aggravating, they are constantly in someone’s business. But sometimes the media can have a positive impact on situations. In the cases of Greg Kelley and Walter McMillian the media actually had a positive impact on the results. The cases were very similar, botched investigations, little to no evidence, falsely accused, and a rally of support. When these cases were looking bleak the media stepped in and boosted the cases to the public.
Some positive effects could include an easier way to communicate among countries and groups and spread good and full hearted ideas. Secondly the power of the media could be domesticated by the government if it were official. It also could be used to support a cause that a certain official stands for and would benefit many lives. Lastly it could also support the United States of America and its citizens through what may occur. Some negative effects may be it being used against the other branches of government and then they would get a greater amount of power.
The strength and effects of mass media are expressed perfectly in Denis McQuail’s article “The Influence and Effects of Mass Media.” McQuail does not really focus on the educational spectrum of mass media like Lunsford. Instead he tries to provide useful information about how mass media effects society as a whole and how there can be power gained from ownership of mass media. Instead of just thinking of mass media as a website that teenagers get on to post what they are eating for lunch or what they had to do that day, McQuail looks deeper and writes about how mass media can lead to political and economic power. One example from his article is when he writes about how mass media “can attract and direct attention to problems, solutions or people” and can also be useful in the forms of “persuasion and mobilization.”

“Media has become as necessary as food and clothing. Media is a mirror of the modern society; in fact, it is the media which forms our lives. The principle of the media is to let people know about modern, new relationships and to tell about the most modern discussion and fashion. The media still very backward behind other economic sectors because international communication is closely bound up with culture, language and tradition” (Karachi, M.(n.d).

Media, primarily new media, is getting more popular and influential, especially in today’s day and age since we are exposed to it a lot more than in the past and also since media is more easily accessible now. The media can shape our behaviours, perceptions and opinions, and it is important to know how people are influenced and impacted by it. The media can influence someone’s perception of social reality, or perceptions of beauty or even influence people’s behaviours and habits and therefore, the media does shape who we are. One way that the media can shape who we are is by influencing our perception of social reality.
